For the 1.8 release, SIG API Machinery focused on stability and on ecosystem enablement. Features include the ability to break large LIST calls into smaller chunks, improved support for API server customization with either custom API servers or Custom Resource Definitions, and client side event spam filtering.

  * Note that because any taints you might have created with Kubernetes 1.5 can only affect the scheduling of new pods (the `NoExecute` taint effect is introduced in 1.6), neither the master upgrade nor your running `kubectl taint` to re-create the taints will affect pods that are already running.

- DRA: scheduling pods is up to 16x faster, depending on the scenario. Scheduling throughput depends a lot on cluster utilization. It is higher for lightly loaded clusters with free resources and gets lower when the cluster utilization increases.

### Other notable changes

* CustomResourceDefinitions: OpenAPI v3 validation schemas containing `$ref`references are no longer permitted (valid references could not be constructed previously because property ids were not permitted either). Before upgrading, ensure CRD definitions do not include those `$ref` fields. ([#58438](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/58438), [@carlory](https://github.com/carlory))

use-cases, including network latency sensitive applications, as well as applications that benefit from CPU cache residency.  Next, [Huge Pages](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-hugepages/scheduling-hugepages/), which allows pods to consume either 2Mi or 1Gi Huge Pages.  This benefits applications that consume large amounts of memory.  Use of Huge Pages is a common tuning recommendation for databases and JVMs.  Finally, the [Device Plugin](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-admini...

### Bug or Regression

- Kube-apiserver: gzip compression switched from level 4 to level 1 to improve large list call latencies in exchange for higher network bandwidth usage (10-50% higher). This increases the headroom before very large unpaged list calls exceed request timeout limits.

## **Known Issues**

* Allow access to ClusterIP from the host network namespace when kube-proxy is started in IPVS mode without either masqueradeAll or clusterCIDR flags ([#65388](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/65388), [@lbernail](https://github.com/lbernail))
